Storytelling that moves brands and the humans behind them.

Two decades guiding executives, athletes, and celebrities through the moments that matter — from courtside to earnings calls. I grow audiences with intuitive strategy, refine with results, and bet on the unexpected.

What I Do

STRATEGY · BUDGETS • GOALS

Team Leadership

Teams built around benchmarks — and the hardware to prove it: two-time NBA Digital Innovator of the Year, three straight years as the league’s #1 social brand, and $1M+ productions that shipped on time and over goal.

Partnerships & Talent

From T-Mobile Park and the Home Run Derby to collaborations with creators like Marques Brownlee and Mark Rober — I live where relationships become content. And when the light’s on, direction is earned, not demanded: build the rapport, hold the room, and anyone gives you a real take — Shaq, Luka, Jada, Cardi B.

Creative & Content

Different is better than better. While everyone zigs, I zag — change the perspective, change the result. From the whiteboard to the final export, I make the ideas and then I make the things, in whatever medium the story deserves.

Live Production

Sidelines, red carpets, board rooms: camera in hand, publishing in real time, directing the moment while it’s still happening. The louder it gets, the calmer I work — composure isn’t a trait out there, it’s the job.

Why I do this

Everything else is just proof.

I grew up in Portland idolizing a basketball team, and I never really stopped being that kid — I just figured out you could make a living standing where the story happens. The metrics are real and I'll show you every one of them, but they're not the reason. The reason is what happens when a nervous person relaxes on camera. When a locker room erupts and you caught it. When 300,000 people show up to something that started as a note on your phone. I chase the moment where somebody feels something — then I stay up too late making sure the edit deserves it.
